Lisa Gaines suffers from an uncanny ability to put herself in someone else's shoes, a talent that caused a lot of grief until she learned how to control it - by writing stories. As Lisa says, "It's one thing to let your thoughts wander down the black alleyways that haunt our darkest nature and then wonder what is wrong with you. But when you use that same talent to create a world of wonder, where a reader can wander safely along those same alleyways and come out unscathed on the other side, then you no longer have to wonder if you're going insane. You know you've definitely arrived." That's why Lisa is kept locked away on a compound in northern California and only released to wander once a month during the dark time of the moon. A time when even wolves go silent.
